Mike McCusker invented the idea of a sports monitor publication. Tipsters and Gypsters did not have many handicappers, and few had a long-term record. It was long ago, did not last long, and McCusker is dead.

The Sports Monitor is a better modern monitor.

I comprehensively studied their records long ago, and another member of Sharpsportsbetting continued. IIRC correctly, he even paid to be monitored to learn the process.

Last year, the college basketball records ranged form 40.54% to 57.89%, and the average was below 50%. And they even allow a bit of shopping in the pointspreads! The luckiest monkey brags, but I found no evidence of a persistent skill component instead of pure luck. For comparison, I don't see Chris Moneymaker or Jamie Gold winning any major poker tournaments after winning the WSOP main event.

There are far more professional athletes than successful sports bettors. If a guy brags about being the best high school basketball player in Calavaras county in the 1980's, then he was not a professional athlete. I don't know how Redietz handicapped in the 1980's or whether his early winning records were just luck. But the fact that he has been a tout for four decades tells me he made more money selling picks that betting them.
